Burst-Type Signal from Small-Field Aurora

Abstract

PHOTOELECTRIC observations of luminosity fluctuations in small-field aurora have already been reported1. This communication illustrates some cases of burst-type signal recorded in two channels at Saskatoon (52.1° N., 106.6° W.). As briefly outlined in the earlier report, signals from two fields each 0.55° in size and separated from each other by 3° were recorded using a two-channel Sanborn recorder.
